As House Republicans seek to trim hundreds of billions of dollars from the federal budget, major changes to Medicaid and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) are on the table. The Trump administration is proposing that states take on a greater share of SNAP costs, a move that could impact Catholic organizations like Catholic Charities that rely on SNAP funding to support their outreach. Meanwhile, the Agriculture Committee is set to take up the SNAP proposal, which currently feeds 42 million Americans annually. To break down the potential impact of Medicaid cuts and how they might affect millions who rely on the program, Tony Holland, founder of Global Premier Benefits, joins to discuss what these proposed changes could mean for those dependent on Medicaid, the scope of current Medicaid support, and whether it's possible to reduce spending without reducing coverage.
